Nathaniel MOTT

Nathaniel "is first mentioned, as an inhabitant of Scituate, in the list of men able to bear arms in Plymouth Colony in 1643. In 1645 he was one of the eight Scituate men sent out in the expedition of Plymouth Colony against the Narragansett Indians . . . . The births of his children are all recorded in the Braintree records, and the same records state that he was one of the four Braintree men killed by the Indians, 23 Feb. 1675/6, when they made their incursion into that town." [3]

"Care must be taken not to confuse members of this family with the descendants of Adam Mott of Portsmouth, R.I., who also settled in Kingston and Westerly, R.I." [4]
